BLAKE3 1.7 Turns To Intel's oneTBB For Parallelizing C Code - Similar Perf To Rust+Rayon
BLAKE3 as the cryptographic hashing function that is much faster than the likes of SHA-1/SHA-1 while being more secure than SHA-1 and MD5 is out with a new feature update
While BLAKE3's Rust implementation has long supported CPU multi-threading using the Rayon data parallelism library, the reference C code had been single-threaded up until now. "I haven't included benchmarks here but informal testing on a Zen4 7950X workstation shows nearly identical performance to the Rayon implementation for large memory-mapped input."
